The Dead Zone (1983) with author Laura Carney

This week, we kick off Stephen King Big Screen Adaptation Month with one of the writer’s stories that doesn’t get as much love as some of the others. 1983’s The Dead Zone, directed by David Cronenberg, is a psychic thriller that stars the great Christopher Walken and Martin Sheen. Joining us to break it all down is author Laura Carney, whose literary insights really class up the show and give us some directions we might not have otherwise gone down.
